This study analyzes how resilience is defined and measured across 594 ecological studies, finding that while metrics vary, most studies use a shared set of six quantitative dimensions.

This study compares enrichment tree planting and liana cutting for tropical forest restoration, finding liana cutting accelerates canopy height recovery more rapidly and cheaply.

This study found that 35 years of sheep grazing did not increase mineral-associated organic matter carbon stocks in a calcareous grassland, contradicting the hypothesis that grazing enhances soil carbon persistence.

The paper shows current resilience estimates fail to account for long-term environmental shifts, highlighting the need to consider resource allocation between survival and reproduction.

This study conducts a systematic review and meta-analysis showing that tree species diversity reduces pathogen damage in temperate forests, with neighbour identity playing a key role.

The paper models short- and long-term responses of grassland functional groups to precipitation extremes using stage-structured community models and pseudospectral theory.
